        "text": "A home renovation typically involves updating or improving existing spaces within the current footprint of the house. This might include remodeling a kitchen, updating bathrooms, or reconfiguring interior walls. In contrast, a home addition involves expanding the physical size of the house by adding new square footage. This could be a new room, a second story, or extending an existing space outwards. The key distinction is that an addition increases the total area of the home, while a renovation enhances or alters existing areas.",
